MI Department of Transportation wants input on proposed new Detroit train and bus center

In a news release, MDOT said the Amtrak station and Howard Street intercity bus station have become expensive to maintain due to their age and are not up to standards for accessibility and safety.

The federal government has contributed $8 million for planning the intermodal facility. The entire project could cost up to $45 million.

Public comments are being taken next week. A virtual open house will be held on Tuesday at 5:30. Use this link to join the Zoom meeting. On Thursday an in-person open house will be held at the Fisher building between 8:00 and 9:30 a.m. and again from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

MDOT wants to discuss how the new facility can best serve the community. Comments can also be submitted through an online comment form.
